Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A behavior that meets the needs of the caregiver rather than the patient/resident is a boundary violation, which is a breach of the professional boundary that exists between the caregiver and the patient. This behavior could range from a violation of personal space to emotional abuse. It is not necessarily a crime or assault unless it involves physical harm to the patient or resident. Defamation refers to making false statements about another person, which is not related to this scenario.
